Straubing Wallmühle Airport (IATA: RBM, ICAO: EDMS) is a minor German regional airport, located about 3 miles north-northwest of Straubing in Bavaria. It is used for general aviation.
History
[edit]Today's Straubing Airfield was founded at the beginning of the 1960s by several flight enthusiasts from Straubing. At first, only gliding operations with winch towing took place. In 1972, Straubing-Wallmühle Airfield was founded as a limited liability company by the two shareholders, the city of Straubing and the district of Straubing-Bogen. Since that time, the airport has been a public transport company (Verkehrslandeplatz) with a daily duty to operate at binding opening times.
Airlines and destinations
[edit]As of April 2016, there are no scheduled services to or from Straubing. Briefly, during early 2016, Danish charter airline Flexflight offered services between Straubing and Salzburg Airport.[2] Flights were later moved from Straubing to Augsburg Airport.[3]
